Warrior Forum!

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the curtains, falling across Lin Ye's face.

He slowly opened his eyes, sensing the changes within his body, and a faint smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

A surge of power filled his entire being, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort that made him itch for a fight.

After cultivating Gene Energy all night, an endless stream of cosmic energy had flowed into his body, absorbed by countless mitochondria within his cells, and released as a strange form of energy.

This energy was quickly taken up by the cells, stimulating the gradual transformation of his genetic blueprint, while the rate of cell division steadily accelerated.

Throughout the night, his body had undergone continuous enhancement and evolution—his flesh, blood, skin, meridians, and bones had all been strengthened far beyond a trivial degree.

This change was not merely an improvement in physical fitness, but an optimization of his genes and an evolution of life itself.

"According to the Nine Splendor Art, humans are born in a state of hunger. The first absorption of cosmic energy yields the greatest amount and brings the fastest boost in strength."

"I wonder how much I've improved this time?" Lin Ye could feel the immense transformation taking place from the inside out.

Standing before a full-length mirror, Lin Ye studied himself carefully.

After a night of cultivation, he seemed to have grown a few centimeters taller.

At the same time, his muscles were noticeably denser than the night before, and his weight had increased.

Lin Ye stared at his reflection in the mirror, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

He was almost stunned by how much this face could deceive a shallow admirer.

So handsome!

In the image, his skin had become fairer and more supple—like a baby's, so delicate it seemed ready to drip with moisture.

Even if Yan Zu were standing here, he'd probably feel ashamed of his own appearance.

At seventeen, his body had gained an extra touch of masculine vigor while retaining a hint of refined elegance.

His eyes were clearer than before, like flawless jade soaked in water, and the deep, flowing brilliance within them added an extra layer of charm.

Lin Ye looked himself over from head to toe, clenched his fists, and felt the immense power stored within him. A confident smile spread across his face, born of strength.

If he were to face that Primary Beast General wolf again now, he was fully confident he could kill it in an instant.

"System, bring up my interface."

[Name: Lin Ye (Mid-tier War General)]
[Attribute Points: 378]
[Body Technique: Microscopic Level (Proficiency 95/100)]
[Strength: 8600→19200 kg]
[Speed: 98.5→149.5 m/s]
[Psychic Power: Activatable (+)]
[Domain: Not Activated (Gray)]
[Clone: Not Activated (Gray)]

"..."

Looking at the doubled strength and speed, he felt a surge of joy at first, then confusion.

The magnitude of the increase in physical power and speed clearly didn't match his Point Allocation from last night.

Why was that?

Lin Ye: "..."

For a moment, he was also puzzled.

Could it be due to cultivating Gene Energy?

As this thought struck him, his mind trembled.

It was highly likely that his body had quietly changed while he was cultivating Gene Energy.

This would perfectly explain the abnormal boost in strength and speed.

Perhaps this was the extra reward from his first time cultivating Gene Energy.

With this realization, a joyful smile spread across Lin Ye's face.

He stood up, stretched out his arms, and basked in the pleasure of his improvement.

His awareness swept over the 378 Attribute Points, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, before settling on the [Psychic] line.

[Psychic: Psychic Power (+)]

With a brief perception, Lin Ye understood that the "+" meant the Attribute Points he currently possessed were enough to activate Psychic Power.

But activating this required 300 Attribute Points.

Such a cost was indeed quite substantial for Lin Ye at this stage.

In short, if Lin Ye used these Attribute Points on Point Allocation for strength and speed, he would gain a boost of 15,000 kg in strength and 150 m/s in speed.

If he allocated them on top of his current physique, he would directly possess the strength of a High-tier War General.

But the benefits of activating Psychic Power were something Lin Ye was very curious about...

"Should I choose Point Allocation... or activate Psychic Power?"

"Point Allocation to get stronger!"

"Activate Psychic Power!"

"Point Allocation..."

"Activate..."

"..."

Head lowered, Lin Ye sank into deep thought.

He had only heard of the existence of Psychic Power, but knew nothing about it.

For a moment, Lin Ye didn't know how to decide.

"When in doubt, the Warrior Forum!"

With that, Lin Ye pulled out his phone, opened the Warrior Forum, and began searching for Psychic Power.

One post after another jumped into view.

[A sufficiently powerful mental force, that is, Psychic Power]

[Psychic Power originates from a person's spirit and soul; it can only grow strong when nurtured within the physical body]

[A warrior who activates Psychic Power is called a Psychic Master]

[A powerful Psychic Master can manipulate mediums like blades, spears, clubs, and rods to kill enemies by surprise]

[Psychic Power increases in power within one's own Sea of Consciousness, but is suppressed when penetrating another's Sea of Consciousness]

[Generally speaking, a small amount of Psychic Power exists as liquid in the Sea of Consciousness; a large amount exists as a solid-liquid mixture. The higher the solid ratio, the stronger the Psychic Power...]

Lin Ye kept scrolling through his phone screen, reading with great interest.

Compared to the miscellaneous posts on other forums, the Warrior Forum had no ads or silly news.

It was full of solid information.

For a moment, Lin Ye wandered in an ocean of knowledge.

After browsing the [Psychic Power] column for about ten minutes, he had a good grasp of its functions.

In summary, Psychic Power had two uses:

First, strong Psychic Power allowed better control over one's own soul and consciousness.

Most importantly, Psychic Power could control many mediums to attack enemies.

This meant the opponent had to face attacks from all directions at the same time.

You see, exchanges between experts often happened in an instant.

With the element of surprise, a Psychic Master's controlled-object attack could even deliver a fatal blow.

It was like Magneto from the movies in his past life.

No!

It was even more powerful than Magneto!

Magneto could only control magnetic fields, but a Psychic Master could control many more mediums.

By now, Lin Ye was familiar with the principles of Psychic Power's birth and its uses.

Now, he needed to understand the combat effectiveness of Psychic Power.

Only then could he determine whether activating it was worth it.

The reason was simple: Lin Ye had a cautious and careful personality.

In this perilous Cataclysm Era, every Attribute Point was important to Lin Ye.

A tiny difference could mean severe injury or even death at the hands of a monster—he couldn't afford not to be cautious.

Lin Ye thought for a moment, but only ended up more confused.

Then, he searched the Warrior Forum for—

"Psychic Power combat effectiveness."
